Super 8 / Slow jet and choke tube screens
« on: June 26, 2018, 02:37:18 AM »
I keep getting debree clogging up my slow jet and choke tube in the carb.  I noticed there is a screen / wire catch in these two parts.  Has anyone drilled these out?

Super 8 / Re: 2013 Super 8 50 2t won't run with air box cover on

Thanks for the reply.  I cleaned the filter, and I did test the choke and found it to be working.  I was able to get it going last night (although slow  :(

It came down to one of the following:

I found a crack in one of the vacuum lines going to the carb.
I had previously shortened the throttle cable to its max, so I put it back
I replaced the spark plug
I removed the snorkel in the air box cover.

Not sure which or all of these fixed the issue, but it is back to running ok.

Now, I'd like to get a little more speed out of it.  At the moment, the only adjusting I have done, is the put the parts in that came from the dealer for derestricting.  That was the smooth roller and the larger jet.  I can now get about 30 mph on flat ground.  It looks like you may have the same bike with some mods.  What would you suggest I do to gain more speed / power?  What was your biggest bang for the buck?  Thanks, Mike

Getting the Super 8 back out after sitting for some time.  Replaced battery, cleaned carb and it would run for a while and then bog out.  Pulled carb again, replaced fuel filter, cleaned air filter, drained tank and tried again.  Took off gas cap.  Checked choke and appears to be functioning.  Same result.  Finally figured out that if I pull the air box cover off, it runs great.  Put the cover on and it dies down to an idle with throttle wide open.  Thoughts?
